413308S Learning and Collaboration in Technology Enhanced Contexts 6 credits
Objective
Computer-Supported Collaborative Learning (CSCL) is an emerging branch in the interdisciplinary field of learning sciences that studies learning and teaching. Students will comprehend and review theoretical background for collaborative learning and evaluate CSCL. Students will also deepen their understanding of particular CSCL themes in various educational and work life contexts from both and theoretical and practical perspectives.
Content
• Theories of Collaborative Learning and CSCL
• Enhancing CSCL in Various Educational and Work Life Contexts
• State-of-the-Art of CSCL Research Learning Outcomes
• to understand the theoretical aspects of collaborative learning and various pedagogical models in CSCL
• to design, evaluate and assess collaborative learning in technology-enhanced environments
• to analyse collaborative learning process and to find ways for teachers and educators to implement and enhance collaboration
• to strengthen collaborative academic writing and argumentation skills
Teaching Methods
Lectures 8 h, collaborative networking and studying in international teams 152 h
